Hanging out on a Friday night Watching the lights going by and I sing Baby you’re like a rollercoaster Running my life at the edge of the brink And I can go on today Take control As the nights get colder And leaves fall harder And no one knows ‘Til the lights get brighter so hold on tighter If you can’t go on today. I know that there’s no one Running my life No one’s running my life So I’m taken away I know that there’s no one Running my life I’ve been running my life You can’t take it away You can’t take it away On the floor As your eyes grow heavy. Amor, it’s game day in this Game de amor. Hanging out Baby I’m hanging out Playing, making, breaking all the rules to your game Getting out baby I’m getting loud Messing ‘round. Looking round to choke the flame And I can move on today. You’ve made it easy to write the Songs I never want to write. I never want to write: I know that there’s no one Running my life No one’s running my life So I’m taken away I know that there’s no one Running my life I’ve been running my life You can’t take it away You can’t take it away

Hey baby I’m Writing this in my bed I’m sorry for The words that I don’t understand I don’t really love you And you don’t really love me back But I’ve liked you more than anyone And I am all right with that Remember last summer Staying out all night long Lying to your parents I’m wishing you would come back home ‘Cus now you’re gone And usually I’m fine with that But lately there’s something missing and I really want to get you back. So this is not your song I only write for girls I don’t like This is not your song I think about you every night Let’s go to the city Just to lay together in the grass Kissing out by the campfire Reminisce about the past They say we’re the strangest couple And that is all right by me I still talk about you I only wish that you could see That I don’t take you lightly And while you sometimes make me mad, You’re still always winning And the best that I’ve ever had So this is not your song I only write for girls I don’t like This is not your song I think about you every night Let’s go to the city Just to lay together in the grass Kissing out by the campfire Reminisce about the past But then one day When I think you found another guy I’ll turn to you Knowing that you’d never lie And once again I’ve made another big mistake I hope that you’re still with me Living with the give and take I only write for girls I don’t like This is not your song I think about you every night Let’s go to the city Just to lay together in the grass Kissing out by the campfire Reminiscin’ ‘bout the past This is not your song I only write for girls I don’t like This is not your song Let’s go to the city Just to lay together in the grass Kissing by the campfire Hoping for that second chance Hey baby I Know you want to go to bed I’m sorry for The words that I can’t comprehend I just may love you The time for that still hasn’t past And I’ve liked you more than anyone Whatever happens, happens

You. Everything is always about you. I used to be about me. I was all that I need. But now I think about you. Forget you. I don’t know why I do Anything for you. I still do. You don’t appreciate it. No you don’t No you don’t No you don’t There is a reason for everything I do. And I’m not sure There is a reason for everything you do. ‘Cus you never go anywhere that I want. You’re never around when I want to talk. There is a reason for everything I do : I wish it wasn’t you. Me. I gave anything and everything that you’d need. And I’ll dream for that day when you come back and you’re happy once again. You Forget you. You don’t know who you are But you won’t go too far If you Can’t do Anything Anything Anything There is a reason for everything I do. And I’m not sure There is a reason for everything you do. ‘Cus you never go anywhere that I want. You’re never around when I want to talk. There is a reason for everything I do I wish it wasn’t you.

Maybe you know something I don’t ‘Cus I could never be that way you know something you know something this is something I’d never say I never wanted it this way Baby, baby, no I never wanted it this way And now I’m afraid I must go. If I never have to see you – I don’t ‘cus you are 400 miles away You are special You are special …but not in a good way. I never wanted it this way Baby, baby, no I never wanted it this way And now I’m afraid I must. … go. You used to tell me to get on your friends. I never knew that this could be the end.

I never wanted it this way Baby, baby, no I never wanted it this way And now I’m afraid I must … go.

Bullet 04:05
When it gets late at night I get a feeling not everything will be alright. Could've gotten laid tonight. but I don't want to be that guy, alright? I can't sleep. I can't dream anymore. Baby this is the end of my nightmare, maybe, until the end of her night there. I gotta' find me something more. Coming home late tonight. I have nothing too. Come home to find so much to write. In a sea of light I have never been so blind. But now I'm fine. Never knew much you're right, you're right. But I know that when you're in flight to your other life, you fight to find something more. Baby this is the end of my nightmare, maybe, until the end of her night there. I gotta' find me something more. When it gets late at night. I get a feeling that everything will be alright. Getting laid tonight. I'm not your guy. I'm not your guy. Goodnight.

You know the world’s not fine baby And heart and art will never be the same. You run away from ever-y-boh-huh-day. I knew one day, you’d run from me. I can’t think about another lover With ashes falling everyday I don’t want to know what you’ll discover. I’ll wait. Just drink your life away. Not everything is rainbows and butterflies I think you read between the lines. There’s something even I can’t realize Your eyes, in time are changing with the light. I know the world’s not fine baby. I’m waiting for you every single day. You think your life is oh so, godly I know you stand just as you sway. I can’t think about another lover With ashes falling everyday I don’t want to know what you’ll discover. Just wait. Just drink your life away. Not everything is rainbows and butterflies I think you read between the lines. There’s something even I can’t realize Your eyes, in time are changing Just go ahead and change. You need to stop and learn to live your life.

Elevator 2.0 03:41
Baby We’re waiting for this elevator We’re free And going nowhere. Jump in. I know you’re going to thank me later. We stand just off the first floor. We’ll wait and wait. For nothing. We’ll wait and wait. We’re nothing. Just let the elevator raise the fire Nothing here could take me higher Let this be my dream come true Just let the elevator raise the fire Step into it, cut the wire This is all there’s left to do. I’m selfish you. Baby, I’m tired of writing albums for you. Take three. You’re all the same. You’ll see. Let mid-summer rush inform you. You’re free. Forget about me. I’ll wait. And wait. For nothing. I’ll wait. And wait. It’s nothing. Just let the elevator raise the fire Nothing here could take me higher Let this be my dream come true Just let the elevator raise the fire Step into it, cut the wire This is all there’s left to do. I’m selfish you. You’re not smart Mind is bigger than your heart. I’ll use you ‘til I get what I want. You’re not smart And were selfish from the start. You used me just to get what you want. I’m selfish you. Just let the elevator raise the fire Nothing here could take me higher Let this be my dream come true Just let the elevator raise the fire Step into it, cut the wire This is all there’s left to do. I’m selfish you.

Weather 03:22
I’ve got you I’ve got to weather the storm The ropes are grabbing hold tonight Been waiting Want to leave you behind And everything will be fine. It’s all right. Take off your clothes girl. We’ve got to hold on Got to weather the storm, Oh Take off, let go girl. You’ve got to move on When everything is so good? Still waiting It’s a midsummer’s eve. I’ve said I’m ending this tonight Friends hating But I want to believe That everything is just fine. And I’m right. Take off your clothes, girl. We’ve got to hold on Got to weather for the storm, Oh. Take off. Let go, girl. You’ve got to move on When everything is so good? Tie the knot and do what you want. I will not. Just stop! Move on! Take off your clothes, girl. We’ve got to hold on Got to weather the storm, girl. Take off your clothes girl We’ve got to hold on And everything is alright. Take off your clothes, girl. We’ve got to hold on Got to wait for the storm, girl. Take off your clothes girl We’ve got to hold on And everything is just. Everything is just fine.
